The housing market around the country has been a rollercoaster for years. Many people looking to relocate may wish to move to desirable cities but face roadblocks like sky-high real estate prices, high cost of living and low supply of quality housing. However, there are some popular cities around the country that are predicted to make that transition easier.

Zillow compiled a list of the 10 "hottest" housing markets in the U.S. for 2024, basing its rankings on "an analysis of forecast home value growth, recent housing market velocity and projected changes in the labor market, home construction activity and number of homeowner households."
